I addesd a lot of songs in my itunes, now when I synced my ipod this message appear "elma's ipod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the itunes library (additional 382m is required). Then I uncheck a lot of song and synced my ipod again same message appeared. Do I need to buy a new ipod with more memories? Somebody told me to check apply after I unchecked some of the songs but I cannot find the word APPLY. please help I'm not a very technical person.

The Sync button becomes the Apply button, if you change the iPod's settings in iTunes. If you are only unchecking songs in the iTunes music library, you click on the Sync button.
When you select the iPod in iTunes, you see the iPod's Summary screen on the main part of the iTunes window. There is a checkbox there for Sync only checked songs. Did you check that checkbox? If you want iTunes to ignore the songs you unchecked when syncing your iPod, that setting needs to be enabled. If you change that setting, you'll see the the Sync botton has changed to Apply. Click Apply.
That method of unchecking songs works, but it may become annoying over time, as you need to uncheck more and more songs. If you want advice on some other more convenient ways to make it work, you can post back.

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Replacing the missing playlist should sort things out but if problems persist then have a look at this troubleshooting page for the 1428 error: Error 1415, 1417, 1418, or 1428 when restoring or updating an iPod in iTunes 7 or later

All songs in library won't sync to ipod (cannot be found).

I have a 6th generation ipod nano. I recently switched from a different computer to my new laptop. I wiped my ipod of all it's old songs and tried to sync my collective purchases onto the nano. However, about 84 of 257 won't sync because they "cannot be found." I had these songs on my old ipod that's "corrupted" and put them on my new itunes using my itunes account. Is there something wrong with my ipod or is it my itunes (or operator error)?

I have noticed that it seems to be a bit rate size problem. My iPhone only adds songs or vids less than 127bps. Now, it's possible that it could be slightly higher, but that seems to be the limit of the stuff I have. Nothing 158bps or 160bps or 192bps or 256bps syncs over, though it did last week! Is it possible this limit was inadvertently imposed in the last update? Problem only appeared after last iTunes update. Could have been with 3.0 update but I don't think so. However I have noticed when they do sync, after I play them or partially play them they disappear from the playlist on the iPhone, should I go to another app and them come back to it.
I don't want to reduce the bit rate, I want iTunes to fix itself, gol-darnit!
Anyone know of a solution or heard of this?

Songs won't sync with iPod Video

I have a new iPod Video 60GB. I just downloaded Tom Petty's Greatest Hits. The songs appear in iTunes under "Purchased" and in my iTunes library. But they will not copy to my iPod.
I installed the iPod Updater 2006-06-28. I have the latest version of iTunes 6.0.5.20. The iPod appears in iTunes with the 3500+ other songs in my library. But the 18 songs I just downloaded WILL NOT UPDATE TO MY IPOD!!!
Guys... I live in Costa Rica. Banda ancha is a ***** here. When I download music, I want it now!!! Do you have any idea how long a 57MB update for an iPod takes to download on ISDN??!!! HELP!!!

If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
The following articles will help you.

I wiped out my songs by mistake and now I cannot sync my ipod back to my music in itunes?

I wiped out my ipod music by mistake and now I cannot sync my ipod back to my itunes

Can you provide more specific info?
Do you mean that you deleted the music from the iPod (not sure how you would do that without connecting to iTunes) but still have them in iTunes or that you deleted the music from iTunes but still have it on the iPod?
Is your iTunes installed on a Mac or a PC?

Why do i have to pay $35 to find out why my audiobooks won't sync?

I can see my audiobooks on one of my two authorized computers, I can see my audiobooks on my iPhone, but on my second authorized laptop, although my audiobooks show up on one screen, the audiobooks tab shows no content. When I attempt to sync it warns "are you sure you want to remove all books and music on your iPhone and replace with this library?" Of course I don't since it has no content. When I attempted to access Apple Support, it tells me I'll have to pay $35. ***?!?

Why? Because you are asking to use telephone support for a problem which isn't covered. Unless you purchase AppleCare there is normally a complimentary 90-day, one incident, period following a purchase of a computer or iOS device in which you can use the phone support system.
Unlike music and most other iTunes Store purchases, audiobooks are only available for one successful download, after which it is your responsibility to back them up and transfer them to any new computer you want to use them on. Copy the audiobooks via network, memory stick, external hard drive etc.
Note also that isn't normally possible to sync an iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers although it can be achieved if both computers have copies of the self same library. See Re: how do i sync on a second laptop without the data on my iPhone 5 being erased?

New album won't sync to iPod (knife party)

So i just bought the new knife party album "Abandon Ship" and it won't sync to my iPod for some reason. Ive got an iPod touch (2nd gen i think?).
Essentially it just won't sync i drag the album onto my iPod, on the iPod i get the revolving arrows for about 30 seconds - 1 minute then it stops but the album is not there. I also cannot redownload the album to my iPod, i tried to redownload it on my iPod and i simply get a greyed out "purchased" button on all of the songs. If i sign out and try to buy the song, then sign in it says "You have already purchased this album, would you like to buy it again?" Which of course i click no to.
The strangest part is that if i go into my iPod in iTunes and then on recently added playlist the album is there but is greyed out and the dotted circle is present as though it is waiting to sync, but won't I've added a picture of this to clarify (see below).
Ive completely updated both my iPod and iTunes and relogged into both + restarted both, to no avail.
Thanks for any help in advance guys!
Isaac.

This shouldn't really be a problem for most music. I'd say 99% of the time the "Artist" and "Album Artist" are the same. This only came up for me because of a new album I bought from iTunes. I looked through my other music and didn't find any others.
You can go in iTunes and just delete the album artist field. Probally fastest way.
I am not sure you have the same problem. In my case the album art and album info was in the apple TV but no songs showed up. Can you see the songs but just can't play them?

ITunes 7.0.2 wiped everything, won't sync w/iPod

I just updated to iTunes 7.0.2 and when I started up for the 1st time there were no songs or playlists to be found. It was like I had started from scratch.
I managed to find my music files and "Add to Library", but now iTunes won't sync to my iPod. There is an error message that says my iPod is synched to another iTunes library - the one that disappeared after the update. I want to sync so that all my playlists will be restored.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get my iPod to be recognized by this new version of Itunes?

which generation ipod are you using? and also pls update your os to 10.4.8, itunes 7.0.2 works well with updated version.

Photocast messes up the picture order of the album and won't sync w/ iPod

I spent a lot of time organizing a couple of hundred pics in chronologic order and everything looks fine when viewed in iPhoto on my computer. Then I photocasted the pics to family and myself so I could view it on a different computer. Well, all the pics are in the wrong order on the Photocast. Plus, the album now won't sync with my iPod. I duplicated the album and then it would go to my iPod, however, all the pics are in the wrong order just like the Photocast.
I ended up unpublishing the album, deleting the messed up copy album and then everything was fine again on the iPod.
Any way to preserve the exact order of the pictures in the album and get it to still copy onto the iPod? Is this just a bug?

I got through to Apple tech support to a guy who was nice enough, but was clearly just searching the database to answer the question (like I already had on the Internet) and he didn't really understand my questions completely. Initially I got the feeling he was just going to tell me- sorry he couldn't answer my questions, until I asked him if he could please ask a supervisor or someone else.
Bottom line, photocasting will put your pictures in order by date and cannot be changed unless you manually change the date in the info section of iPhoto for each picture. So all the effort in rearranging pictures doesn't matter unless the dates are chronologic.
I have no intention of manually changing the dates of over 1,000 family pictures I have scanned into the computer over the last 5 years. Oh well, at least the real date is in the title of each picture I imported.
He said he couldn't find anything on why a photocasted album wouldn't sync with the iPod. So I said, "Did you ask anyone else?", then he put me on hold and said he would try and find out.
The answer to the 2nd question is that No-shared libraries/photocasted albums will not copy over the iPod. You would have to duplicate the album, but then you may lose any arranging you've done (again the pics will be ordered by date if by digital camera or date imported if scanned).
I now know that any scanned pictures will have to have manually changed dates. I am too lazy right now to go back and fix years of scanning and importing. I just won't use Photocasting for now and hopefully in the future there will some sort of Preference choice on how to sort the photos other than date.
Cheers

ITunes won't sync with ipod classic, keeps asking for authorization

I have a brand new Macbook Air. I transfered my iTunes library from my old mac to the new one. However, some songs weren't on the old computer, they were only on the iPod classic.
When I try to sync the iPod classic, it tells me 539 songs aren't on the new computer, should it sync? I say yes. Then it says that the computer is no longer authorized. I fill in the authorization with the correct userid and password (it comes prefilled with a very strange userid that I've never seen before.)
It tries to sync, then I get the same message, that the computer is no longer authorized.
I'm assuming there's a certificate or cookie some place that's out of wack -- can you tell me where it is and I can go delete it?
Thanks
PS. I was able to successfully sync my iPod Nano to the new computer without this issue at all. Then again, it didn't have any songs on it that weren't already on the new computer. I haven't tried syncing my iPod Mini to the new computer yet.

ITunes won't sync but iPod working...?

I downloaded the most recent iTunes and tried to sync my iPod (an 80 gig with video, fyi). iTunes said it needed to restore, that the iPod was corrupt, etc.; I did as it said and waited for the iPod to restart... just to have iTunes say it needed to restore again. After repeating the process a few times I unplugged the iPod and found that it was asking for a language and that it showed the menu options and the games worked, but because it had been restored there was no music on it. Now iTunes won't sync it but the iPod itself is turning on and doesn't show any music (except for, you know, the lack of music.)
It is important to know, I guess, that my iPod hasn't been working perfectly lately; she's been freezing up, won't play some songs, working sluggishly... Last night she was particularly diifficult and after restarting a few times refused to play more than one or two songs (before freezing.)
I can't think of any time I've dropped her from anymore than a few inches off whatever surface, and every time she was in her case so I doubt that had anything to do with it...
Can anyone help? I thought it might just be a problem with the new iTunes so I don't want to send her in for service just yet, but the sooner she's fixed, the better.
Thank you ver much in advance!

Hi there,
Have you tried the 5 R's that Apple recommend trying?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303940
It sounds like you could do with going through them - make sure that you have the very latest iTunes software before starting.
I hope this helps.

AIFF files won't sync to ipod touch

I have a bunch of AIFF files that work fine in iTunes, but they won't transfer to the iPod Touch. I've even run the "create AIFF version" item in the Advanced menu, and the resulting file still won't sync. All MP3 files are syncing just fine.

I figured it out. The sample rate was too high for ipod. I had bought the music files in flac format, which come in something like 99000khz rate. I had imported them into Audacity and exported as AIFF -- assuming that that's all I had to do. Afterall, all references I found mention only the format, not the sample rate. I finally got one to sync when I changed the sample rate within Audacity to 48000khz and exported again.
